System environment:
Win 7 X64 SP1
Google Chrome 29.0.1547.66 m

Tested this out at [1]. The cursor moves past the glyph on two left arrow
keypresses.

I tried selecting the text with the left arrow keypresses. Then I copy-pasted
the selected text into an external text editor. It seems the first keypress
takes the cursor past र and the second past ग्
However, visually the caret seems to be unmoved after the first keypress (i.e
it does not move past the glyph or into the glyph) and crosses the glyph after
the second keypress.

The patch also introduces an unintended side-effect. Crossing the glyph from
the left to the right on right arrow keypress also takes two keypresses now.
Without the patch, this used to take only one right arrow keypress. This
correct behaviour can be currently seen at hindi wikipedia, specifically tested
at [2]

So the problem is partially fixed, but with side-effects.
